About this listen
British Book Awards, Author of the Year, 2009.
Man Booker Prize, Fiction, 2008.
Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. Too poor to finish school, he has to work in a teashop until the day a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. Balram becomes aware of immense wealth all around him, and realizes the only way he can become part of it is by murdering his master.
The White Tiger presents a raw and unromanticized India, both thrilling and shocking.

Funny and cutting examination of Indian Inequality
I wish author sounded more Indian. I found it hilarious and thought provoking. I think a must read for anyone who wants to attempt to understand India

delicately woven tapestry of modern Indian culture and old Indian culture
I found the narration lovely it added to this complex story. The undercurrent of the book comes across vividly. It's written candidly and has much poetic pose, the author goes through so many characters and their complex personas , and then relates them to modern Indian society, with injustices to the poorer class of people ,corruption, and loyalty all in the mix.
